EZCC 9th Annual Show n’ Shine (Saturday, June 5th, 2004)
It is being held at Bonnie Doon Mall as per usual. The show starts at Noon and runs til 4pm. Registration is $10. Half goes to Charity and the other half goes to the cost of trophies. Remember, this is more of a show your ride off than a competitive show.
The registration starting at 11am. Any and all Nissan/datsun/infinity sporty family members are welcome.
How about we organize a meeting place before the show, and all roll there together? Who’s up for this? I personally will be there.
If there is any of you that had concerns about last years judging ways. Have no more fear. The Z Car Club had the show setup towards the “oldschool” guys. But now, there has been a whole new area added to the show. “Street Modified”. SO all you guys modded out, now you have a spot for you. All new judging criteria and class.
It will be a good time.
Comments? Questions?
